COI SI MPTION OF COTTON. The fact that many northern capital ists. men l who only recently had" thoir money and faith in the textile industry in the New England States, are purchas ing interests in Southern mills, makes particular interesting the figures show ing the consumption of cotton in the South as compared with other parts of the country. The takings of European and other foreign mills in 1022 was 8.121.88(5 bales: in the same period the southern mills re quired 4.047.000 bales against only 2.- 402,000 for northern mills. Tile number of bales required by al! mills showed a decided increase in 1022 over the preceding year but southern mills lead in this respect, increasing by about 1.100,000 bales while northern mills increased but 400,000 and European mills increased less than 500.000 bales. Southern mills came nearer requiring more cotton than either northern or Eu ropean mills in 1018. than in any recent, year. In that year southern mills used 44207,000 bales against only 4,215.217 for European mills. In the same year the northern mills took but 2.88.2000 bales. "S, For more than a decade southern mills have used more cotton than the mills of the north. This increase has been steady, but reached its climax in 1022 when southern mills proved better customers of the eottofl farmer than northern mills by more than a millionu and a half bales. These figures for the most i>art deal with the cotton industry in the South be fore the trend of the industry started this way. With new mills being erected and additions being built to many old plants, there is every indication that the Skmth will strengthen the hold it has on the in dustry. FRANCE AND ARMAMENTS. The French nation recently approved the terms of the Arms Conference held at Washington some time ago at the invi tation of the late President Harding. That means that certain ships of the fighting type will be scrapped, along with ships of the other nations who became party to the terms of the conference. But while she is scrapping battle ships, the French are building a bigger and greater air force. The rapidity with which this is being done is causing some alarm among other nations of the world. Great Britain seems to be especially worried over the formidable air force France is building up. The British have always been able heretofore, to keep ahead of the other nations in Eu rope. with the exception of Germany, in developing intensive and modem fighting forces, and the fact that France has the • greatest air force now is not agreeable to the British. Lord Birkenhead in the House of Lords described England's fear when he said “France could destroy Lon- Idon and almost every other center of population in England tomorrow without warning if she wished.” In times pnst army experts estimated In days and weeks the time necessary to bring an army into action. Now Franc, deale not with days and weeks but with hours and almost with minutes, relying on her magnificent fleet of air craft France has virtually every kind of air craft that .can be of service to a nation in the,event of wur. She has planes which MUI! carry 75 cannons. plwhMthat will ; transport six machine gifafi and their creWs,’ planes that are noiseless agd planes that wmt armored a with battleship steel Wanes that that b will serve pa troop ship# or transports F ore new under construction. I It * certain that statesmen in the near future^ ill fight for reduction in air , ' i forces as they have fought m the past for. reduction in armies and navies. STATE’S BONDS I*«DER OPTION ARK NOT TAKEN New York Syndicate Fails to Conclude Deal for *5.000.000 Issue. Raleigh, Aug. 18.—The attitude of tile Morrison administration is that no need exists for n special session of the legis lature. it was learned from authoritative sources this afternoon soon after the long session of the council of state adjourned. Expiration of an option on North Car olina five million dollar bonds for five per cent, being noted at today’s session of the council of state, horseback finan ciers are guessting that first aud last the Maxwell-Morrison controversy over, deficits and surpluses will cost the state twenty millions in all. The state had a bid for the five mil lion, but the New York syndicate let the; day pass. Monday Treasurer I spy will; auvertise these bonds for institutional: construction. If the state doesn’t market the whole five millions Treasurer Lacy is authorized to sell a maximum of one and. a half millions in short term notes. Governor Morrison, sitting with tile; council much of the day, was apparently, philosophical about the whole business.' but he sees at last the difficulty of straightening out the correctness of his contention seems imbedded in the popu lar mind, albeit the Governor is coniideat that the public can be taught the correct ness of his contention that no actifnl: deficit exists. While talking finances the council dis cussed work at Cullowhee and the con-j struction of a power plant there. The Governor arrived here from -Char lotte. where he delivered an address yes terday. at a bridge opening ceremonial on the banks of the Catawba river and went “into conference late in the fore noon with the members of the council of state. The conference dragged on through out the early afternoon hours, and the veil of secrecy which seemed to have been thrown around the meeting gave rise to rumors which rapidly spread throughout the city, that a special ses sion of the legislature was being discuss ed. It later was disclosed that the finan cial matters discussed by the council had to do only with the bond issue for the educational institutions' building pro grams. Arrest of (he Coopers. Charlotte Observer. The arrest of the Cooper family in Wilmington on charges in connection with the failure of the Commercial National Bank, in that city, which failure entail ed tlie closing of doors by several small er banks in different parts of the State with which the Coopers were connected, was a circumstance that had been antici pated for several weeks. There had been an airing 7>f*tlie affairs ip the local courts in which a situation was brought out that indicated tile landing of the matter in the Federal Court. The line of defense is clearly outlined in the statement that two principal allegations are admitted. These are, that a bill of lading was surrendered a few days before the bank broke without the payment of a draft, and that a dummy note for $lB.- 500. covering a real estate transaction was placed in the bank. The defense, iu admitting these charges, ma|ke» claim that the bank held and still holds a deed to the real estate. But there stands the general charge of conspiracy, misappli cation of funds, false entries "and num erous apparent irregularities." State interest in the case will be acute because of the high standing in fitmni cial and commercial circles the indicted men enjoyed among the people of North Carolina. Mr. W. B. Cooper is the Lieu tenant Governor of the State: hirf broth er has held irresponsible* positions ill banking affairs and the family name had been one above reproach, The distress es growing out of their hank failure had wide ramification. Had the transactions been confined to the single hank at M il mington. whatever of feeling that might have been aroused would have been large ly confined to that center: but the in jured are scattered over the State, to creation of new spots of infection. The defense of the Coopers will not become public property until the court which is to have their case iu hand meets in No vember. Robert Bell Dies. Victim of Automobile Accident. Charlotte Observer. Robert Beil, 16-yea.r-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Bell, of 785 East avenue, died Sunday afternoon at Junaluska of injuries received Saturday night m an automobile accident while returning from Waynesville, according to a mes sage received here last night. Young Bell was with other members of the orchestra of which he also was a member returning to Like Junaluska about midnight after giving a program at the other town. While passing another car on the narrow * mountain road, the meager report said, the machine containing the young people overturned, Bell receiving internal in juries.

Brock Barkley in Charlotte Observer. Raleigh, Ang. 18.—A monthly report on receipts aud disbursements of the state treasury will be furnished Governor Morrison and in turn submitted to the public ns the result of a request made of Treasurer B. R. Lacy and Auditor Baxter Durham by the governor today. The call for the monthly statement, to he made on the fifth of each month, ef fective in October, was (hade during a meeting of the council of state today. For mal call will be con tain,si in a letter to he addressed the two state officials from Asheville. The statement, it is believed" will prevent the recurrence of controversy over tlie condition of the treasury and will enable the public to know at #ll times just how North Carolina stands. The statement will cover two-year per iods with disbursements and taxes collect ed covering that period, i The mil was agreeable to the treasurer and auditor, it was understood. The governor acted under constitutional authority. With the return of Governor Morrison to the capital for the day, talk of a spe cial session of the legislature" went a-glimmering, for his excellency made it perfectly clear that lie is satisfied with the revenue outlook for the next two year period. Predictions of an excess of disburse ments over revenue for that time gave rise to special session talk here. "A special session for what?” the governor wanted to know when asked as to his intentions in this direction. It evidently - Wus%iiF" time ho had heard of reports of the "inevitahleness” >f an extraordinary gathering of the sol ms. The executive's attitude was that while he concedes tlie possible failure of reve nues to fully cover appropriations for the period, he is not at all sure about it. mil if such a condition should develop, it would not he serious nor out of the or dinary. Tlie governor would nrtt be surprised to see actual receipts exceed estimates of lie last legislature by 25 or 80 per cent. Appropriations of the last session are reputed to have exceeded revenue esti mates by .25 per cent. I GOVERNOR IS AGAIN | HELD FOR SPEEDING Peeved by Arrest and Says He Will Fight the Matter in the Courts. Hillsboro, Aug. 111.—Governor Gamer 'ii Morrishn-tvSk. arrested here today by Chief of Police Floyd on a charge of speeding, this being the governor's second 11-rest for such an offense this summer. Governor .Morrison was peeved by" fli(' irrest and declared that lie would tight lie case when it comes up for trial. Af er venting his wrath at being caught by tlie law lie gave bond and left town. A red Bniek driven by J. M. Simmons was implicated in tlie governor's latest arrest. Mr. Simmons was leading the gov wnor and his Cadillac as they approach 'd this place and as they crossed the bridge into town the governor tried to pass tlie Bniek. As they swung into Clmi'ton street both stepped on tiie gas and it is charg 'd were traveling at a rapid pace when hailed by the officer. Mr. Simmons was first arrested and upon his protest that the man behind him was equally guilty hat car was stopped and found to be liat of tlie governor. -Salisbury Locks Horns With Southern • Railway. > Salisbury. Aug. 18. —Mayor G. M. Henderlite and the Southern railway are locking horns over tlie building of ind underpass on the new Statesville road that is being constructed out from Salisbury. The mayor says the city will be represented nr. the hearing before Imige Boyd in Greensboro on August 25. and he thinks the judge will not grant an injunction against ft(ie city hut wil let the railroad and the city tight their battle without the inter ference of tlie federal courts. The ordinance calling for the com pletion of the underpass by the South all by September 1 imposes a fine of SSO for each day and every day the"un ilerpass is not finished and the mayor lays steps will be taken in the state’s ■Orts to collect this fine- The railroad hopes so have tlie ordinance declared illegal and to get a restraining order igainst the city. The proposed underpass would be -■ome 200 feet away froril the present grade crossing on the Statesville road ind tlie state highway commission is now building a road down to the site of the underpass.

GRADY ' j Plumbing and Heating H Contractor* ; U Corbin St. Offloo Phone SS4W , ■■ , i Mother* of Fararai Men The Mother of John Dry don. Out of her windows Mary Pickering, who was to become the mother of the great English poet, John Dryden, looked and'snw a scene of rich beauty. There were woods in the near distance and woods on the hills farther away—a great green mass of trees. A little river came down through green meadows, disap pearing 'now and then among the trees. Near at hand were old walnut tree's, and great, graceful elms that rose like huge feathers. It was quiet; it was peaceful; it was bcautifnl. 'Mary Pickering, a I*nr itan girl, had lived a serene and a quiet life, quite in harmony with the scene that she saw from her windows. Her father, the Rev. Henry Pickering, had a small church where'he ministered. No great event came to disturb the peace of their lives. All this was a fitting set ting for the-uiuother of the a great poet. Then came tlie whisper, “Mnry Picketing is going to marry Arasmus Dryden!” There was a simple wedding in a tiny English church, and Mary Pickering be came Mary Dryden. It was in her fath er's home, the quiet, retired tree-sur rounded home, that her son wak born— John Dryden. Tliis was in 1081. Now that we know tlie works of John Dryden—his great sat in's. tiis songs, his serious critical es says. his great volume of plays—it seems strange to think of him iis a baby held close to his Puritan mother's breast! The story of liis life is the story of struggle between liis better nature and his power nature. If lie could have thought more of his mother and her quiet home by the river, perhaps he would have gained far higher honors as u man. Woman and Daughter Killed By Light- 1 ning.
